This $401,918 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research by the University of Rochester to investigate neural mechanisms underlying how the brain processes complex sounds like speech and music across different timescales. The key objectives are to use computational models and neural recordings from auditory cortex to understand the brain's flexible integration of sound information over...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $450,028 to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research on statistical inference in auditory processing. The research aims to develop a theoretical framework for how the brain tracks complex statistical relationships and temporal dependencies in sound sequences to guide auditory perception. It will use computational modeling, behavioral testing, and...
This Project Grant award of $225,307 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to understand how the brain extracts meaning from sounds and integrates this information with other senses, primarily vision. The project aims to test a hypothesis about auditory semantic alignment, which proposes that cortical areas specialize in processing particular categories of sounds and pass that information to a broader amodal...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075), provides $533,853 to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for research on the perception and cognition of sound texture. The investigators will develop a computational framework to understand the properties of environmental noises that underlie human perception. This involves assembling a large dataset...
This Project Grant award of $399,042 from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will support research at Dartmouth College investigating audiovisual attention mechanisms in the human brain. The research aims to examine how spatial location serves as a basis for integrating visual and auditory signals to form a coherent perceptual experience. Key activities include assessing the temporal dynamics of cross-modal attention, exploring...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Integrative Activities (IA) program (CFDA 47.083), provides $216,154 to Kansas State University to study the impacts of auditory perceptual learning on working memory skills and cortical dynamics. The grant aims to examine how changes in the brain from auditory training influence memory performance, with plans to measure the effects of trained vs. untrained sounds on working memory fidelity, inhibition, and mental effort....
This $147,486 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (CFDA 93.173 - Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders) will fund research at Carnegie Mellon University to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying spatial auditory attention in normal hearing listeners and bilateral cochlear implant users. The project aims to evaluate whether magnifying interaural level differences can improve spatial hearing for cochlear...
This Project Grant award of $910,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences supports research on the "Mechanisms of Willed Attention" at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis). This research, under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), aims to investigate the brain mechanisms that enable humans to voluntarily direct their attention, especially in the absence of external cues. Using...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the CFDA program "Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders" (93.173), will fund research to examine how the human auditory cortex integrates speech information in the presence of background noise. The $303,136 award, effective from December 2, 2024 to December 31, 2027, will be conducted by the University of Rochester. The research aims to use scalp and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $619,951 to the University of Rochester to study how the human brain encodes and processes the perception of song. The project leverages advanced experimental methods, including functional MRI and intracranial recordings from neurosurgical patients, to better understand the neural mechanisms underlying song perception. The research aims to differentiate...
